摘要: The sPHENIX experiment is a new generation of large acceptance detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory with scientific goals focusing on probing the strongly interacting Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) with hard probes of jets, open heavy flavor particles and $ Upsilon$ production. The EMCal detector, covering the pseudo-rapidity region of $ eta leq 1.1$, is an essential subsystem of sPHENIX. In this paper, we focus on the production and test for the EMCal blocks covering a pseudo-rapidity of $ eta in 0.8 , 1.1 $. These, in conjunction with central pseudo-rapidity EMCal blocks, significantly enhance the sPHENIX physics capability of jet and $ Upsilon$ particle measurements. In this paper, detector module production and testing of the sPHENIX W-powder/Scintillating Fiber (W/ScFi) Electromagnetic Calorimeter Blocks are presented. Selection of the tungsten powder, mold fabrication, QA procedures and cosmic ray test results are discussed.

摘要: In nuclear collisions at RHIC energies, an excess of $\Omega$ hyperons over $\overline{\Omega}$ is observed, indicating that $\Omega$ carries a net baryon number despite $s$ and $\bar{s}$ quarks being produced in pairs. The baryon number in $\Omega$ could have been transported from the incident nuclei and/or acquired and balanced in baryon pair productions associated with other types of anti-hyperons, such as $\overline{\Xi}$. To investigate these two scenarios, we propose to measure correlations between $\Omega$ and $K$, as well as between $\Omega$ and anti-hyperons. We will use two versions, the default and string-melting, of a multiphase transport (AMPT) model to illustrate the correlation method. We will present the $\Omega$-hadron correlations from simulated Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 7.7$ and 14.6 GeV, and discuss the dependence on collision energy and on the hadronization scheme in these two AMPT versions. These correlations from the AMPT model provide a baseline for experimental exploration of the dynamics of baryon number transport and the effects of baryon number and strangeness conservation in nuclear collisions.
